MC13852-434EVK

The MC13852-434EVK features the MC13852, which is a cost-effective, high IP3 low-noise amplifier (LNA) with low noise figure. An integrated bypass switch is included to preserve high input intercept performance in variable signal strength environments and boosts dynamic range. On-chip bias circuitry offers low system cost. The input and output match are external to allow maximum design flexibility. External resistor used to set device current enables balancing required linearity with low current consumption.

• Gain of 20.3 dB (typ)
• Output third order intercept point (OIP3): 10.6 dBm
• Noise figure (NF): 1.65 dB
• Output 1 dB compression point (P1dB): 7.8 dBm (typ)
• Bypass mode has return losses comparable to active mode, for use in systems with filters & duplexers
• Bypass mode improves dynamic range in variable signal strength environments
• On-chip bias sets the bias point
• Bias stabilized for device and temperature variations
• In a receiver system with 20% active mode 80% bypass mode, the average current drain is <lt/> 0.6mA
